Professor Guy Rutty, Chief Forensic Pathologist, said: “It is critical to have courses such as this to enable future autopsy practitioners to develop postgraduate skills for practice within the field. It is unique in that it covers both natural and unnatural death imaging, mass fatalities and identification as well as practical imaging skills and techniques and how to set up and run a service."

Professor Bruno Morgan, Lead Forensic Radiologist, added: “It is really exciting to finally offer this course, having developed experience and teaching material from interpreting hundreds of post-mortem investigations over the last 10 years, firstly as part of research projects with learning from autopsy control, and now also as part of service to our communities.”
